About the game
Mind Twist is a 2-player game that has players racing to be the first to get to the top of a 3-D Board. On your turn, secretly select a number between 1 and 3. If your opponent doesn't challenge you, you reveal your secret number and move your piece closer to victory and then it's your opponent's turn. If your opponent challenges you, he or she tries to guess your secret number. If they get it right, you lose your turn and they now pick a number. If they get it wrong, you reveal your secret number and move that many spaces and take another turn.

Questions and answers
Mind Twist supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Mind Twist is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mind Twist for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mind Twist has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
